I buy stuff on ebay regularly and wanted to sell a couple of items. I hadn't actually thought about the fees because I naively thought they would be reasonable. So I checked and found out it is 13.4%, pretty outrageous. It is especially weird when ebay has a significant stake in (and used to own) gumtree, where I can list for free.No wonder people sell on gumtree rather than ebay these days.

if you want to sell your old toaster and your old gym equipment then gumtree is the best fit. If you are a business and want to sell at volume on a sophisticated marketplace with a variety of tools, API integrations and a huge ecosystem of third party systems, then 13% is a reasonable price to pay.
